Why Google Places/Local Search is Important

"We've had an overwhelming request for help with learning how to set up, claim and navigate Google Places/Local Search," said Jason McDonald, Senior SEO director of the JM Internet Group. "Companies such as plumbers, roofers, hypnotherapists, and glass repair are dependant upon Google Places/Local Search for their customers to find them. Where SEO is an important factor in getting these kinds of 'local business' companies to the top of Google organic searches; Google Places is equally as important within their Social Media Marketing strategy".
